This module aims to introduce the phenomenology of Edith Stein by reading one of her early, translated works in detail. A close reading of the work and discussion of its basic concepts opens up for a discussion of her contribution to phenomenology and to an appraisal of her specific style of phenomenological investigation. Typical topics such as empathy, the psycho-physical individual, the person, community, society and state are discussed so far as they are relevant to the work in question with a view to understand the direction of her later philosophy as phenomenological ontology. Stein’s phenomenology is sought understood in relation to other types of phenomenology and particular emphasis is laid on her contribution to the phenomenology of inter-subjectivity.
